Still shopping for Cayman S and a "2014" with build date of February 2013 has popped up. I understand the 981 was released in spring of 2013 as a 2014 model so February 2013 build date seems like an early model. With many cars early build date cars often have things "fixed" as running changes based on production/use experience. Would such an early build car have all the "features" of the new 981 model or are there any important changes that Porsche applied in later build date Cayman S?

I expect any real problem items or recall items would have been fixed under warranty by current owner but I wonder about anything that might have been desirable updates/changes as Porsche gained production experience.

There were no major updates. There were minor changes during production of S models for 2013/14 such as color options, and if you ordered a leather interior, the door pulls just had leather pads on the early cars. However, on cars produced with leather interiors from say 11/2013 ownward received door pulls fully covered in leather rather than just little leather pads on plastic.

There was a software update that should have been done on all earlier cars. They sent notices to owners this past summer. Good luck with your search.

Thank you for feedback Dino944. I will ask about the software update to see if it has been applied.
